 # Recover from accidental deletion of resource bridge virtual machine
 
-In this article, you'll learn how to recover the Azure Arc resource bridge connection into a working state in disaster scenarios such as accidental deletion. In such cases, the connection between on-premises infrastructure and Azure is lost and any operations performed through Arc will fail.

 ## Recover the Arc resource bridge in case of virtual machine deletion
 
 To recover from Arc resource bridge VM deletion, you need to deploy a new resource bridge with the same resource ID as the current resource bridge using the following steps.
 
+>[!Note]
+> This note is applicable only if you're performing this recovery operation to upgrade your Arc resource bridge.<br><br>
+> If you have VMs that are still in the older version, i.e., have *Enabled (Deprecated)* set under the *Virtual hardware operations* column in the Virtual Machines inventory of your SCVMM server in Azure, switch them to the new version by following the steps in [this article](./switch-to-the-new-version-scvmm.md#switch-to-the-new-version-existing-customer) before proceeding with the steps for resource bridge recovery.
+
 1. Copy the Azure region and resource IDs of the Arc resource bridge, custom location, and SCVMM Azure resources.
 
 2. Find and delete the old Arc resource bridge resource under the [Resource Bridges tab from the Azure Arc center](https://ms.portal.azure.com/#view/Microsoft_Azure_HybridCompute/AzureArcCenterBlade/~/resourceBridges).
